Chapter 301: Shift in the World's fate. Leaving in search of the Fox!
Like that, without any more twists and turns, one of the legends of the World cut her Fate from the World's destiny, disappearing and leaving behind a legend.
However, unknown to Yasenia and Angel, her disappearance had an enormous effect on the World's destiny, changing it drastically.
The enormous shift in Fate was so big that strong Fate users around the Universe felt the change.
In an enormous gold and jade palace, a handsome middle-aged man sitting on a throne frowned, "How is this possible? The Heaven's truth Saint disappeared? She should have found and guided her inheritor, not disappeared like that. Did something go wrong? I have to send the Heaven Army to investigate."
Shortly after, millions of cultivators above the Transcendence Realm dispersed through the realms, searching for cues.
Inside a hidden misty place in the corner of the Universe, a woman was sitting on her knees above a rock. Her surroundings couldn't be perceived because of the mist covering everything in that World. When the shit in Fate happened, she opened her eyelids, only to reveal a pair of completely white eyes. She lifted her head and asked aloud, her voice sounding innocent yet having a deep feeling of mysteriousness in it. "Sister disappeared? Why? She wasn't supposed to disappear."
The woman looked down and said sadly, "I haven't been able to meet with her since then, and now, she has banished."
In a world filled with clouds and sunlight, a man so beautiful he would eclipse the Sun flapped his three pairs of snow-white wings once. His body disappeared and appeared millions of kilometers away. He looked toward the infiniteness of the Universe and said, his voice Angelical and melodic. "To think that the Heaven's Truth Saint met her end. Things will get messy in the future. We must prepare and not let those filthy creatures gain more power in the chaotic times about to come."
In an arid world, where the sky was red and the temperature so hot that mortal-level cultivators would die from heat, a woman that could make people die from a single glance smiled. Her smile was so beautiful that it had no match; calling her the most beautiful woman wouldn't be an exaggeration. "That woman died~. Things are getting interesting~."
However, her beauty was such that two of her retainers literally stopped breathing and died from energy deviation when they looked at her smile. "Oops, they died from excitement because of my smile. What a blunder, fufufu~." Her voice didn't lose with her appearance, being able to charm anything and anyone.
Like that, countless Fate-attributed cultivators felt a big change in the whole cultivation world's future. However, there was another cultivator who also felt the shift clearly thanks to her monstrous talent and comprehension abilities. Even if she was weaker, she could also feel it clearly.
In the Sky continent, a red-eyed Empress overlooking her expanding Empire frowned, "A big change in the course of Fate just happened. Who provoked it? I should speed up things and gain strength faster, or else I won't be able to protect my little Treasure. Things are moving forward a little faster than anticipated."
She looked at the Demon city being overrun by a literal wave of Undead and got thoughtful as she saw the Undead slaughtering the living. "Maybe it is time to return to the Underworld. I will need Teacher's strength shortly. I also have to expand my army... Well, let's begin with this city."
The black-haired woman slashed toward the city as she commanded, her voice carrying the dreaded law of Death. "[Perish]."
A wave of death energy flooded the entire city, and a unified scream from most Demons and many other creatures allied with them followed, dying in the next moment.
"Fufu~, hearing screams of despair as their life leaves their bodies never gets boring. Jing Yue, finish them; we've already conquered the North with this city, and they have no more utility."
"But Empress, weren't we going to spare the lives of the royal family?"
"Yeah, but I changed my mind. We will leave an Undead as the head of the city. We shall conquer the West next!"
"As fast and ruthless as always, Empress, one month and we've already conquered a quarter of the Sky Continent."
"What conquer? I'm reclaiming what was originally mine. I've let them dance enough. Now it is time to get back what was mine all along... Hmm? Ugh, those pest Long and Tang are courting death again. How many times did I already save them during this month? Little Treasure, come back fast, or your opponents will die by themselves!"
A man wearing regal clothes and with ghostly green eyes and white hair appeared beside them. "Empress, the Star Empire is besieging the Glassheart family, I've controlled the situation, but I want to know what to do next."
The red woman's eyes opened, and then her aura burst outward, warping the space around her. "How dare they attack my dear daughter's in-laws! What if they get a bad impression of her because of that!? Destroy! Destroy the Star Empire!"
The man coughed and said, "Empress, isn't that rash...?"
"What rash!? Send Tian Long! Raze that place to the ground!"
Anyway, leaving aside the reckless Death Empress massacring millions daily for her conquest-
Yasenia also smiled and said, "Do as you see fit. I'm sure it will be the correct option."
They met with a group of cultivators when they left the ruined area from the Ritual and battle. One of them approached and questioned, "If I'm not wrong, you should be the Heavenly Dragoness."
Yasenia looked at the tall human man with Earth golems behind and nodded, "Do we know each other?"
The man frowned and said, "Don't you remember the person you tricked into trying the Gate trial for you?"
Yasenia blinked, unable to remember. "I'm sorry, but I don't."
Angel was surprised and said, "Yasenia, he is the one you seduced to try if pills worked on the Gates."
Yasenia frowned for a second and then remembered, "Ah! You are that man!"
The man nodded and said, scratching his head awkwardly. "Could you tell me if there is something worth inside there? You know... As compensation or something for using me as a meat shield."
Yasenia chuckled and nodded, "Sure. I can tell you that you won't find anything useful there unless you are a glass cultivator. There are only ruins of a ritual and very pure Glass energy. There is not much more there. You maybe can find materials for forging, but I'm honestly not sure."
The man got thoughtful. Yasenia looked at his weapon and saw a middle-level Earth-ranked weapon. 'Hmm, I remember having quite a good opinion of him. It was because he wasn't angry at me after what I did, right? Even though he had all the right to get mad, he controlled himself and moved on... I should give him something.'
Yasenia took a low-level Heaven-ranked hammer from her ring and threw it to him. The man caught it instinctively and asked, "What's this?"
Yasenia smirked, "Your new weapon. That weapon you are holding is already somewhat old. How about getting a new one?"
The man frowned, "I don't think I can afford it."
Yasenia chuckled, "It's free. Please take it as my thanks for becoming my meat shield. This way, there will be no more beef between us. What do you say?"
The man was surprised and then sighed. "My grandpa was right. Women as beautiful as you are like a rose. Beautiful from the outside, but filled with thorns."
He shook his head and left with the hammer. Yasenia and Angel blinked, surprised at his comment, and then laughed aloud. Angel smirked and teased, "Yasenia, you truly are like that!"
Yasenia smiled, "Am I? You will have to be careful, Angel~."
Angel snorted, "What careful? You wouldn't hurt me!"
Yasenia's smile became smaller for a second, 'Depending on how you take my story; I may hurt you, Angel...'
She recovered fast and said, "Let's go find Kali. We don't have any clues, so we should search around the forest and see if our communication devices react."
Angel looked at Yasenia for a second, 'Why did she become sad for a moment? Hmm, something happened. Will she tell us when we are together? If not, I will ask her then.'
They ignored the curious cultivators that looked at both of them as they left and reassumed their journey. Yasenia called Kali, Evelyn, Cecile, and Andrea one more time, and besides Kali, she had good news.
Evelyn, Andrea, and Cecile had finished their business and had already begun their journey to reunite with Yasenia. All of them had had monstrous gains during this month, becoming much stronger.
They all were quite eager to reunite with their dear dragoness and cure their current disease. Lack of Yasenium!
They used the night sky and other landmarks as a guide to get closer. Yasenia was extremely formidable in star reading, so she could more or less guess in which direction each of them was. As all of them communicated with the devices and used the night sky and other methods, they got closer to each other.
